A volunteer team is behind the medical evacuation facility being built outside Ballyhaunis. This morning, Tommy Marren caught up with some of the project organisers, Gerry O'Boyle, project organiser, Shane Bonner, Aviation Consultant with the HSE, and retired Sergant Major Séamus Gannon.
The project is now underway, with the first stage building of a helicopter landing pad, the first in the country which will allow a helicopter to land at night. The Helicopter pad will cost approximately €180,000, with the planned emergency room to be built later, ata cost of approximately €1.5 million.
